does masturbating cause lower levels of testerone

Sir, I think know you are 23, same age as me.You perhaps haven't come back to this topic for long long time but guys still come here often because of this question. I just wanna say "f**k all the people who say 'masturbating is fine." What an excuse! I've been masturbating since I was 12. I hoped I could stop. Man, it's a monster. YOU HARDLY HAVE SEXUAL LIFE IF YOU'RE STILL MASTURBATING DAY BY DAY. All you can do is to go around and see some hot girls then go home and ejacuate yourself. Then your body gets thinner, you loss your hair more and more, your memory is like a junkie forgetting stuff usually and your brain is full of sexual images when your real life cannot afford you a sex partner. So please, guys, who are still f*****g yourself, stop masturbating. It makes you less manly, you would look mushy, you would find that you don't wanna seek for girlfriends anymore because you can have sex with your hand without implying too many questions. You would find that your words are not as sharp as other guys who don't masturbate so that girls may not come at you or you would see them in a different world, the world of normal people whose real sex is something too easy for them but is a tremendous fear for you to ask for because you haven't had it yet. Ultimately, you will find yourself retarded. Don't be like me. I'm trying to change. I eat more, I go back to school which I have left several years ago. I workout everyday, try to shape up my body. Hang out with girls. Don't think at first that you should do something to be able to have sex with them. Just having fun with them but push the demand of having real sex to high level. When you can have real sex, you will stop doing fake sex like masturbation. Besides, you will find the distance between you and girls are narrower while hanging out with them more often. Get up and refuse the desire of being ejacuated everyday!

sorry for this but you are all fools who are telling that masturbating DONT CAUSE LOWER LEVELS OF TESTOSTERONE!!!

if you masturbate every day u will have zero sex drive , you are anti social , you have no energy and you feel like an id**t in your social enviroment!! i am not just talking and saying bullshits i am 17 years old and i know about this.

dont masturbate a week and you will the difference,you will feel much better.......BELIEVE ME ;) CHANGE DOESNT COME WITH COMFORT...EVER!!!  ;)

you can boost your testosterone eating healthy foods and drinking much water... and workout of course!!

you guys if your are under 20 years old exploit your age!!!! this is our anabolic hormone exploit it!!! you can build muscle mass much easier than a man which is 40 or 50 years old!! exploit this!!  :-D

 

I usually masturbate but have had bouts of not masturbating. Here is my experience with masturbating vs not masturbating:

When I don't masturbate, I personally experience:

 

1- A much higher desire to go out clubbing, and actually get girls

2- More energy, more aggression, more intelligence, faster thinking, all signs of more testosterone and muscle/brain activity

3- I guess the feeling is, I just feel more alive

4- I gain muscle a little faster, and am much better in contact sports such as wrestling, football, etc

5- I get more cut. I start to look more like Rambo, whereas when I beat my meat I have a less defined look

 

When I do masturbate, I experience:

 

1- Overall, the opposite of above

2- I do get a temporary good feeling, but it's more of a pleasure than it is an actual happiness vs unhappiness type of thing. I don't really feel any happier, I just get an orgasm type pleasure feeling which goes away and leaves me feeling a little empty. But of course I do it anyway, it's a habit a compulsion to do it

3- A feeling of release of a compulsion of habit. So it is a stress reducer and its hard to quit it unless you have an exciting life going on at the moment that is happy and relatively stress free

 

All in all, I'd equate masturbation to what people go through with smoking. Overall it does hurt you and the good feeling is only temporary, but it's hard to quit anyway because of the compulsive/addictive nature of the pleasurable feeling associated with it

Note: Not a religious fanatic, nothing religious in here, just saying what I've experienced. I do agree that a lot of people defending masturbation sound strangely like smokers or drinkers trying desperately to defend their habit and feel better about themselves.

 

Me? I don't feel bad or good bcuz of my habits; I don't let them define me. I'm not like your typical smoker, drinker, or masturbator who needs to "defend" what he does. So I guess my answer is a rare one of honesty. Thumbs up if you agree

My father is a gynecologist, and he stated the following when I asked him the same thing. "Masturbation does not lower your testosterone enough to have an effect on a regular exercise routine as long as you aren't jerking it like an hour before you hit the gym because you are going to suffer some strength loss. The reason for the strength loss is because men have a response in the body which causes all of the muscles to contract at once when they ejaculate. Hence the funny faces and poor aim." My dad has served members of the armed forces for the better part of 30 years as a family practice and special forces physical fitness adherence specialist. I am personally a former member of the USMC and I can tell you that jerking it is just part of life, and it never NEVER harmed me or my workouts. I can do 35 - 40 pull ups in one setting, 200 - 500 pushups in one setting, 200 - 300 crunches, and run 3 miles at a 6 minute mile pace. Don't believe the hype little bro! Jerking it is neither unhealthy nor going to ruin your lifts. Oh just FYI if you want to increase testosterone production and increase muscle gains; hit the squats, lunges and wind sprints. LEGS LEGS LEGS dude. I am 5' 6" I weight 185 and I squat 375 4 x 15. I do that twice a week. 

Hey guys I'm a medical doctor at MGH and sexual ejaculation is a normal thing to do it relives stress and makes your body work harder and that will help burn calories etc all young men 12-17 should ejaculate 3 times a day

I have tested it myself and experimented whether masturbating can lead to a decrease in human performance. I can juggle a football like a professional and everytime I train (Not Masturbated yet) I get better, after one week of practise without masturbating my football skills such as in control, dribbling, juggling were excellent. Soon after I masturbated, I played again and I lost touches, bad controls, and It was difficult to juggle. So in order to fix these I need to retrain these aspects and also my heart beat was beating faster and I get tired easily.

Conclusion: Masturbating can reduce your athleticism, stamina, performance, skills that you've practiced. It may seems nice after masturbating, but the costs for masturbating are fitness and concentration! So if you're a lazy ass guy with no life then masturbating for you will be perfect. But if you're a hard working person who practise hard on a specific task or criteria, then don't masturbate. It will only reduce your performance. Unless you have a set, like once a week only or once a month.

People can be so much different. These who are pro-masturbation clearly have no any problems with masturbation. However, then there is people like me. I am not religious, but i am 100% sure that masturbation is causing me problems.

When i began to masturbate as teenager, it felt great, but pretty soon i began to feel more and more tired, drained, low mood, unenergetic. Had this problem all my teenage, but i didn't understand it. Then as adult 20yo -> i got more serious problems, depression, physical problems, panic attacks. I began slowly form awareness about this problem, connected it finally into masturbation. Now as +30yo, i know, that i am fine, if i do it 1 time a week, or sometimes even 2, but more is bad. Old problems comes back if i continue to ejaculate daily or more which used to be my habbit.

Abstaining at least 3 days and i feel then things are lot better, i have energy to exercise, mind is sharper, body feels better, more self-confidence. And someone talked about skills, i have noticed same, the more masturbation the less good i success in any skill, mentality, technique, physicality needing things. Braindfog, physical weakness and so on, doesn't do good if wanting to success in something.

I am pretty sure it is something about testosterone. My beard grows slower if i masturbate often, and i lose some hair, and i get acne, bad acne, even as adult. And i have had always problem that i couldn't build muscle, no matter what i have eaten and how much exercised. Thought often the drained, exhausted feeling and pains, and other related problems caused me to have more rest than should have had in order to build muscle.

Probably i am a person, who has naturally low testosterone levels, or slow semen/sperm/testosterone production, and masturbation then probably lowers the levels still more.

Bit joking now but there's own experience behind: the best i can do if i do it daily, is sleep, watch movies, and eat some trash-food.

 

Everyone should do how they feel is best for them, listen your body, observe. If you feel weak and so on because of masturbation, do it less often. If you don't notice any problems then don't worry let the beat go on.

 

And my own observation tells me that i should do it only if i feel manly, and my genitals are driving me crazy. Not if i just want orgasm (pleasure, relaxation).

My dad has balloons under his bed, they're filled with cream cheese, they're tastey.

I started jacking off at 12 is that really bad for me i mean i do exersise on the bike and i need help for exercise and jacking off please help me

Lies this is not true

You should probably stop masturbating. I Can dense its starting to ger to your head.

You should have just been quiet.

Lol to every post

no fool it increse your penis but it decrease your health ,min frequency and sex power

Masturbation is at the same time good and evil, its good to control sexual feelings when they are out of control from stuff like seeing real life girls and can help lower cholestoral. Although its really bad when it becomes an addiction-and like any addiction: ITS BAD FOR YOU!!!Constant and excessive masturbation can drain energy if done more than 2 or 3 times a week, it causes agression to waver and makes people laid back and chilled, not good if you're playing sports. It also can cause joint pain (knees) and can negatively effect stamina and coordination. but really, it affects the most psycologically: it causes depression and out of control (sexual) thoughts about other people and creates an insatiable craving for more "relief"(masturbation). So keep it under control if you must do it although I highly reccomend you dont do it before any physical/athletic activities.
